Megson eyes Forest pair

BOLTON'S recent resurgence won't prevent Gary Megson making a January move to strengthen his squad. Wanderers are edging up the Premier League table and on the verge of qualifying for the last 32 of the UEFA Cup with virtually separate sides. Megson has relied on his fringe players in Europe as he sets his sights on top-flight survival.

BOLTON'S recent resurgence won't prevent Gary Megson making a January move to strengthen his squad.

Wanderers are edging up the Premier League table and on the verge of qualifying for the last 32 of the UEFA Cup with virtually separate sides.

Megson has relied on his fringe players in Europe as he sets his sights on top-flight survival.

But Megson's right-hand man Archie Knox believes there will be new arrivals at the Reebok next month to boost the squad.

"Everyone recognises we need an addition of new faces," said Knox, who had a spell as caretaker boss in October between Sammy Lee's departure and Megson's arrival. "But that doesn't mean to say we can't pick up points as we go along."

Nottingham Forest pair Kris Commons and Nathan Tyson are two players said to be on the Megson radar.

And after an unhappy 13 months in charge at the City Ground, which ended in February 2006, Megson would have no problems raiding his former club for their two star names.

"There are a number of players we have targeted," said Knox. "And we are working hard at the moment to see who is available."

Megson may well allow some players to leave once the transfer window opens. Iranian midfielder Andranik Teymourian has had few chances to follow up an impressive first season, and is becoming frustrated.

"I have a meeting with Bolton officials next month regarding this matter," said Andranik. "I have offers from Spanish and German league teams. If I do not reach a deal with Bolton officials, based on UEFA regulations, I can negotiate with interested parties in January."
